Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

We also don't know if search engines will pay the new fees to index reddit, so that could potentially make it disappear faster.

Really? Doesn't google and similar search engines use web crawlers, outside of the devloper API of reddit? Or is that different for reddit?

Currently yes, but I'd imagine they're also going to disallow crawlers via robots.txt or what's to stop OpenAI and friends from acquiring the corpus that way? Though of course that assumes this whole thing is really thought through which might be a big assumption on my part...
